The Sandbar restaurant has been named one of the top five beach restaurants by the international travel Web site nowfly.co.uk
(The London) Times Online rated Nowfly as one of the top 10 travel Web sites for 2009. It is mainly a resource for inexpensive flights, hotels and car rentals but recently joined forces with travel journalist Marcus Waring to launch Zip It, Nowfly’s travel column.
The listing describes the Sandbar, located in Anna Maria, as a historic restaurant dating back to 1913.
“Positioned on a beautiful white sandy beach overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, nowadays the simple restaurant has an indoor bar area serving up tropical cocktails and two pagodas preventing diners from melting in the midday sun,” it said.
“We are very pleased to be in the company of folks like Jamie Oliver, who is featured on the food network and who owns Fifteen in Cornwall, England,” said Ed Chiles, owner of the Sandbar, BeachHouse and Mar Vista restaurants “This recognition speaks not only to our world class location but also to the great staff we have the pleasure to work with, who enjoy the opportunity to create great memories for our guests on a daily basis.”
